Agreed, a little too plain but most wear test samples are.

hahaha yeah man I know what you are talking about. I like all my shorts right above/ on the knee so I can show off my monster calves and plus I dont like the long shorts look. Also dont like too tightor too baggy pantsI'm 5'10 and with normal basketball shorts and normal calf height athletic socks they look fine. Just don't get long shorts or too high socks or you'll look you have stubby Yosemite Sam legs. Otherwise, you should be fine.
For people worried those black and silver pair were the Michael Jackson's it appears their not, their the wear test sample he first wore to practice. Glad they are. Also glad because I remember saying they were pry just wear test samples when pics first released and had a couple people say it was stupid for me to assume that since the announcement of the shoe was coming that day and that he wouldn't just now be wearing the samples right before the reveal. Glad I don't hold grudges haha

I'm not paying much attn to these nicknames, but from what I heard, footlocker is calling the upcoming black/yellow pair a Laker colorway.
I'm going to try to grab em, but def retail or bust deal for me. Too many releases to have to jump through hoops and pay more than the already crazy retail price....
totally agree...first style i've been pretty excited about in awhile. I'm more about the aesthetics of a shoe. Been purchasing jordan retros most of my life and they are getting a bit of the same old same old aside from certain colorways. The kobe IX elite is a refreshing new change and it helps that I'm a sucker for flyknit.no, they were/are FAR MORE appealing to me.
i've mentioned before, i never liked the kobe line until i saw the first images of the elites. the ridiculous cut and flyknit is unlike anything else so it immediately piqued my interest. whereas the rest of the line, while probably great performers, all looked like generic nikes to me.
i seldom shoot hoops, so my kicks are mainly for casual daily wear. until recently, it was almost exclusively jordan, but jb are getting really damn boring now. the same retros every other week.
That's another point for uniqueness. I guess people who are tired of lows are the ones who are really attracted to these. I've been hoopin' a lot recently and I think someone who wears something like the elites will get a lot of attention, and I'm not much of an attention-seeker, contrary to accusations thrown at me by someone on here. hah!no, they were/are FAR MORE appealing to me.

Aint no telling fam.I agree it would be nice but I think people will try and squeeze everything out of the high 9's.Those perspectives have hypebeast colors written all over it.If the next 3 releases are really going to be GR's then I can see these hitting outlets later on. Wouldn't mind getting Details for $150-$180 in the summer
Really doubt resellers are gonna go out and scoop up Elites at $225 if they can't move them
Can't wait for my ASG to arrive tomorrow

except these are wear test samples that wont drop...These I can **** with. And I'm sure, like always, people will be hating on these at first, then doing a total 180 when they drop. #dontbelievemejustwatch

I learned that the price doesnt really stop anyone.Which is good and bad considering nike knows that.

As for casual wear, I most definitely won't look good in those either. I'm only 5'10 and my calf muscles are not as slim as I'd like them to be. So that's already a no for wearing shorts. As for wearing a pair of pants, that can be done but ,again, too many eyes will be on me. Fit teenagers, models and ballers will look awesome wearing elites casually. As for regular Joes, that will depend.
